Bulk anisotropic nanocrystalline SmCo5 magnets have been prepared by hot deformation method. The height reduction of the magnets plays a key role in inducing the crystallographic alignment in the magnet. Increase of height reduction to 90% leads to the formation of platelet shape grains perpendicular to the press direction; correspondingly c-axis crystallographic texture and magnetic anisotropy were developed in the deformed magnets. The coercivity of the magnets increases first,and then decreases again with the increase of the height reduction. The magnet with 70% height reduction exhibits a high coercivity over 5 T.
The effects of external forces and surface wetting properties on the directional motion of nanodroplets are studied through molecular dynamics simulations. We find that when droplet motion reaches a steady state, the steady velocity shows an unusual relationship with the external force such that the profile has two nearly linear regimes. This behavior differs from previous experimental and theoretical results. The underlying mechanism of the two linear regimes is explored and is closely related to the two distinct regimes of droplet deformation. The transition between these two regimes can be roughly determined by a value of approximately 1.2 in terms of the ratio of Le*L0* or Se*S0*. In addition, we observe an interesting phenomenon, a “caterpillar-crawling-like motion,” rarely reported in experiments thus far, which involves periodical oscillations in both the droplet shape and the velocity of the center of mass of the droplet. Moreover, we construct a dynamic phase diagram to describe the correlation between the transition of dynamics and the morphological transition among various shapes (nearly round, corner-like, pear-like, zucchini-like, calabash-like, and rivulet-like).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
